Winter weather is coming, let’s get preparedTeenagers may require physical for employment Is your teen going to work? Most employers require a physical. If your teen has had a physical within the last year, you simply need to drop off the employers paperwork and pick it up three days later. Your childs primary care manager will complete the paper- work without an appointment! However, if your child requires a physical, it is best to schedule it before he or she starts the job hunt. To schedule an appointment, call 772-2778 or visit https://www.tricareonline.com.
